Notes

This recipe is an imperial (strong) saison with cherries added

Add honey in last 5 minutes of boil

This beer is intended to be a fruit Saison, and to maximize the dryness for a high gravity saison with fruit, this brew needs to be re-pitched with a second yeast. Wyeast 3724 will maximize dryness, but will stall when gravity reaches 1.035.

Remove pits from cherries and sanitize in vodka.

Add cherries and Wyeast 3711 to fermentation tank when fermentation begins to stall (5-10 days into fermentation), and lower temperature to 72 degrees. Leave for 2-3 weeks and move beer to brite tank.
